Post10 Dec 2004 11:24   Symmetrical Load Ring Oscillator Design

Can anyone offer me tips on how to size the transistors for the buffer stage shown, particularly the PMOS transistors because I am having a hard time keeping PMOS load in triode and PMOS diode in saturation.

I am trying to build a four stage ring oscillator. From my calculations I need at least a Gain of 1.4 in each delay cell and I am targeting an oscillating frequency of 250 MHz.

Any help or links or papers will be appreciated.

Thanks

you can make bufer transistors with smaler width because you will increase parasitics capacitance and this can make frequency shift
